I can& #39;t see this Newcastle takeover going very well, UNLESS they work out a recruitment strategy alongside a manager and system that will get the best out of the players

Bringing a load of fancy foreign players up to the North East, sheerly motivated by money, isn& #39;t what that club needs

I think the time of Saudi billionaires with questionable ethics and backgrounds owning football clubs should be long gone

Obviously this thread wouldn& #39;t exist if it was us getting taken over, and of course initially it& #39;s a massive buzz, but longterm having an owner like that just doesn& #39;t work for Newcastle. In my opinion.

Anyway, that& #39;s my piece on it, I think that it will all end in tears. Ashley isn& #39;t the type to wait and sell to "football people" who "get the club", this was a deal motivately solely by money, which is a huge red flag for me.
